One of the simpler versions of last week’s sketch really appealed to me, but I wanted to try it with a diagonal (on-point) layout. That’s not possible in Excel (I don’t think!), so I moved across to Electric Quilt to develop the idea further.
I can’t remember what inspired this week’s sketch (I’m sure something did), but I immediately fired up Microsoft Excel to get the design from my head onto the screen. For designs with stripes and squares, particularly when the layout is a little unusual, I often find Excel easier and quicker to use than Electric Quilt 8.
You might’ve thought you were never going to see another straight line in my Sunday sketches – it’s been months since I posted a non-curvy design! But this week it’s squares within squares. A super-simple design with lots of opportunity for colour play.
